KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is pleased to announce it has teamed up with Identity Guard to offer VFW members and their families a special 20 percent discount on identity theft protection with IBM® Watson™ technology.

Identity theft affects one in seven Americans with potentially devastating consequences[1] such as loss of savings, being charged with a crime one didn’t commit or even being held responsible for fraudulent medical claims.

The threat of identity theft is real, and the consequences could be serious. Simply put, without adequate protection you and your family are vulnerable.

With Identity Guard protection, you’ll receive a monthly Vantage™ credit score[2] with up-to-date credit scores from the three major credit bureaus, a full TransUnion credit report annually, and alerts if your information is detected on the Dark Web or “Black Market” websites. Your Identity Guard membership can also help protect your loved ones with a family plan that includes child identity theft protection.

Don’t gamble on the protection of your loved ones when it comes to identity theft. Start taking advantage of this special discounted rate today by visiting www.identityguard.com/vfw.

[2] The score you receive with Identity Guard is provided for educational purposes to help you understand your credit. It is calculated using the information contained in your TransUnion credit file. Lenders use many different credit scoring systems, and the score you receive with Identity Guard is not the same score used by lenders to evaluate your credit.
